Stanley has a distinct personality already!<br /><br />Bearing in mind I don't know the requirements for Children's Lit, the only caution I'd issue is there's a lot of "s" alliteration,which is fine in moderation but can sometimes simulate the hissing sound of a snake if too much (43,8% of your sentences begin with the letter "S") It did produce quite a rhythmic feel to the passage, though, which may be the effect you're aiming for to relax children's minds? <br /><br />I do hope Stanley the Saving Sea Gull finds his new home where he can hoard to his heart's delight with his new friend! :)Judy Croome | @judy_croomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17455755011354905278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8449147139519589668.post-47315788181849419912013-06-01T15:49:30.547-05:002013-06-01T15:49:30.547-05:00This is so cute.

Most bizarre when he can have fresh fish down in Dover.<br /><br />I like that Stanley is different and the other seagulls should not pass judgement. And yes, there is one typo I can point out, Something "shinny" sparkled in the sun.<br /><br />All the best with this. You would never get me involved with these blog hops. Still, respect to you and all those who do :)<br /><br />Have a nice weekend.<br /><br />Gary :) klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.com
